It's one of those articles where I got far more than the gist of it from just reading the headline.

Spit On, Sworn At, and Undeterred: What It’s Like to Own a Cybertruck

A bunch of older white guys - business owners, stock brokers etc. The kid was thrown in for fun and isn't a real Cybertruck owner (bad journalism).

Several of them appear to divorced (like the Jan 6th insurrectionist), and those who aren't dragged their wives into this.

They're oozing with privilege.

Elon Musk Has Turned His Eye to the UK

Musk posted nonstop at the beginning of the year about British politics, until his focus was consumed by DOGE. Now he’s back.

“Musk’s political interferences in Europe, whether that's supporting the AfD in Germany or associating with various forms of far-right populist politics in the EU, should be seen as an attempt to change the balance of power within Europe,” says Damian Tambini, a policy fellow at the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics. “[Musk is trying] to undo some of the regulation, which is going to have a pretty fundamental impact on his platforms, and particularly the ability for him to use them as propaganda platforms.”

Elon threatens to rage quit Tesla if he doesn't get his $1 TRILLION payday

Elon Musk implies that he'll quit his part-time job as CEO of Tesla (TSLA) if he doesn't get his $1 trillion pay package.

I don't think it's a good strategy for most Fortune 500 companies, but it'll almost definitely work with the butt kissing Tesla board.

Elon Musk Couldn't Care Less About Poverty

The former head of DOGE says he wants to "create a world where there is no poverty."

gizmodo.com

Tesla held its third-quarter earnings call on Wednesday, and CEO Elon Musk seemed particularly focused on getting his $1 trillion payday. But before the world’s wealthiest man made the case for why he deserves to be the first trillionaire, he wanted to make sure you understand one thing: He’s going to help abolish poverty.

The Guardian In Grok we don’t trust: academics assess Elon Musk’s AI-powered encyclopedia

The eminent British historian Sir Richard Evans produced three expert witness reports for the libel trial involving the Holocaust denier David Irving, studied for a doctorate under the supervision of Theodore Zeldin, succeeded David Cannadine as Regius professor of history at Cambridge (a post endowed by Henry VIII) and supervised theses on Bismarck’s social policy.

That was some of what you could learn from Grokipedia, the AI-powered encyclopedia launched last week by the world’s richest person, Elon Musk. The problem was, as Prof Evans discovered when he logged on to check his own entry, all these facts were false.

Also

• Grokipedia’s entry on the Russian invasion of Ukraine cited the Kremlin as a prominent source and quoted the official Russian terminology about “denazifying” Ukraine, protecting ethnic Russians and neutralising threats to Russian security. By contrast, Wikipedia said Putin espoused imperialist views and “baselessly claimed that the Ukrainian government were neo-Nazis”.
• Grokipedia called the far-right organisation Britain First a “patriotic political party”, which pleased its leader, Paul Golding, who in 2018 was jailed for anti-Muslim hate crimes. Wikipedia, on the other hand, called it “neo-fascist” and a “hate group”.
• Grokipedia called the 6 January 2021 turmoil at the US Capitol in Washington DC a “riot”, not an attempted coup, and said there were “empirical underpinnings” to the idea that a deliberate demographic erasure of white people in western nations is being orchestrated through mass immigration. This is a notion that critics consider to be a conspiracy theory.
• Grokipedia said Donald Trump’s conviction for falsifying business records in the Stormy Daniels hush-money case was handed down “after a trial in a heavily Democratic jurisdiction”, and there was no mention of his conflicts of interest – for example receiving a jet from Qatar or the Trump family cryptocurrency businesses.

Elon Musk Tells Joe Rogan That He Will Demo a Flying Car by End of Year

"If you took all the James Bond cars and combined them, it's crazier than that," said Musk.

gizmodo.com

Hey Elon, I thought you were pivoting Tesla's efforts to start focusing on robots. So is this flying car being produced by SpaceX? Maybe the flying car also a robot.

The man got fucking high on Rogan's podcast, again.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

I want him in it for the demo.
